He brought his acoustic guitar and performed "Life Without End At Last".
I have a vision of that scene with David Brent from the UK office.

How to post good quality images

i am as just wondering what the best way is to post a good quality image on the forum.

is there anything we can do to improve an image we have?.

alternatively, if anyone has a good link to something that would help, that would be equally great.. cheers all dio x.

It's really how the software displays them, in a bid to be efficient it sizes them down to the viewport, but that was written before "retina displays" became the thing, so now they are too small and look blurry.
I have an update in the works that makes things look sharper, and may even throw in a zoomable image viewer that works with tiled images (you can view multi-megapixel or even giga-pixel images even on a mobile phone).
The way round it right now is to post a link to the image on another service. The reason for this is that when you embed an image, it takes a snapshot an proxies it to prevent people doing malicious things such as replacing the image with porn or other unwanted content or using it as a way to harvest IP addresses to identify users.

It makes me wonder if any of our voices are in his head.
All of them, rent free!

I think his comment about having a traumatizing experience and seeing a psychiatrist is an example of him being manipulative.
He was projecting and using any excuse he could to try and prevent anyone else sharing their side of things Kim.
PS. You were awesome and came across great!

I love how he posts "I am going through a traumatizing experience, I am seeing a psychiatrist over this"
Then immediately "how manipulative she can be"
Sorry, but who is the 'manipulative' one here? Because what traumatizing experience? I thought he believed he's done nothing wrong? Everything has been entirely self-perpetuated. And claiming to see a psychiatrist? Does he mean a psychologist? Because psychiatrist is for mental disorders, not things like stressing over my social media.

And do we believe him? Is this another invention like his legal team and PR experts?

So in a pre-recorded interview the man threatens the interviewer because he has a Q&A session with the other side.
I got the impression he made the threat after doing the recorded interview, but yeah "don't listen to the other side" is something that people in the right rarely say.
He's desperate to stop people hearing any side but his, which is really very WT like.

Lloyd has threatened to sue Andrew Gold if he does a follow-up interview with Kim Silvio. He said so in the live-chat. Andrew also said Lloyd has severed his friendship with him and has withdrawn as a Patron. Kim Silvio is being interviewed right now.
Who does that? Does he imagine everyone is going to just do what he says and believe that he's the reasonable, balanced one? He's completely losing the plot.
Just watched the follow-up interview - great job Kim and Andrew!

I think we're better sticking to the known facts. There's no need to speculate and it just gives him ammunition to dismiss EVERYTHING based on one thing being wrong.
Remember, he'll be looking for anything that he can latch onto in order to claim things are being made up.
So let's stick to what we know.

Let's not include Dijana in memes, it's not really fair on her - she's a victim in all this.

He also admitted he "dated" a prostitute in Thailand
Lordy, can you just imagine what that setup was?
"Oh, Mister Woyd, you such good lover to me! You be my boyfriend and me love you long time. Me definitely your girlfriend and me not just say you good lover so you give me more money. Ignore men outside, they all just friends, that all, not like you, so many muscles you have and you so handsome and manly! Erm, no, we not do humpy-humpy right now, me need to vomit a little ..."
Disclaimer: I have absolutely zero first-hand knowledge of prostitutes but even I know they are not like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman and they are not falling for you. I imagine anything they tell you is to loosen your wallet and keep you friendly.
And no one would fall for that ... would they? Can anyone be that STUPID? Apparently, yes ... yes they can.
Lloyd is the comedy gift that keep on giving. It's like a soundbox in a doll - you just poke that belly and another nugget flies out.
